Agile's Too Slow: Developing a Facebook App For the Obama Campaign

room: Grand Ballroom A — time: Thursday 11:00-11:45
Level: Introductory

Priorities shifted twice a week. My favorite lightweight practices were all too heavy. Facebook thinks I might be a spammer. On November 5, the code became totally worthless. It was the best project I’ve been on!

Come and hear about a project that was too strange for normal, comfortable agile methods. I hope you can learn from my experience, and make sure you are bringing the right tools and processes to your next project. Focus on the principles of agile (communication, simplicity, feedback, courage) instead of the practices (CI, pairing, iterations, etc).
